Sonnet Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEGFG| There was an Indian who had known no change | A |
| Who strayed content along a sunlit beach | B |
| Gathering shells He heard a sudden strange | A |
| Commingled noise looked up and gasped for speech | B |
| For in the bay where nothing was before | C |
| Moved on the sea by magic huge canoes | D |
| With bellying cloths on poles and not one oar | C |
| And fluttering coloured signs and clambering crews | D |
| - | |
| And he in fear this naked man alone | E |
| His fallen hands forgetting all their shells | F |
| His lips gone pale knelt low behind a stone | E |
| And stared and saw and did not understand | G |
| Columbus's doom burdened caravels | F |
| Slant to the shore and all their seamen land | G |
